<> The focus of the book is on COM Interoperability (since
it's a much larger subject), and the heart of the discussion is
broken down into four parts:
Using COM Components Within the .NET Framework
Using .NET Framework Components from COM
Designing Good .NET Framework Components for COM Clients
Designing Good COM Components for .NET Framework Clients
The scope of the book is just about
everything related to using "unmanaged code" in the .NET Framework.
Technologies built on top of COM Interoperability are also
covered-Interoperability of Windows Forms Controls and ActiveX
controls, Interoperability with COM+, and Interoperability with
Distributed COM (DCOM). Although Platform Invocation Services is a
separate technology from COM Interoperability, there are many areas
of overlap, so including in the book is a natural fit. All of these
technologies are a core part of the Common Language Runtime and
.NET Framework, and will likely be used not only as the path of
migration for existing software projects, but for brand new
software development for the next several years.
